0:00.0	Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted American dissident Edward Snowden,
0:04.4	Russian citizenship, and what do we think?
0:08.9	We think, on the one hand, Edward Snowden is a dirty rotten traitor who revealed national
0:14.0	security secrets to the press and undermined American interests and hegemony abroad.
0:19.2	Or, or we think that Edward Snowden sacrificed his own comfort and security in the United States
0:26.1	to blow the whistle on the overreach of the American security state, which routinely spies on
0:30.9	American citizens without our knowledge or consent. Which is it? Do you have an opinion about that?
0:38.1	Because I conducted a highly scientific Twitter survey asking conservatives and only conservatives
0:44.7	their opinion of Edward Snowden. Over 36% said that they viewed Snowden as the good guy.
0:51.3	Just 9.3% said they viewed Snowden as the bad guy. And the plurality, 37.1% said they didn't know.
1:03.5	That's the craziest part. The largest group of conservatives said they just didn't know what to
1:10.1	think of Snowden. Followed by the next largest group which supports him. Why? Because those
1:16.0	conservatives rightly recognize that the American national security state has been weaponized by the
1:21.6	radical left. They recognize as Christopher Caldwell observed in a recent column that the United
1:27.7	States abroad is the radical left. It is. Which explains, I think, the recent resurgence of isolationism
1:37.2	in US politics. Americans support our own country above the other guys or patriots. But we understand
1:44.8	that the US is the chief exporter of wokeism abroad. And so we seek to defend our interests
1:51.7	as best we can while constraining the exportation of woke leftism. Which virtually every power in the
1:58.6	world, Western and otherwise has recognized. All of which is to say, no one really cares about
2:05.7	Edward Snowden. And no one really cares about the projection of American power per say around
2:11.1	the world. What we care about is the power that we are projecting. What are we doing? Are we
2:17.2	spreading truth justice in the American way? Or are we raising pride flags in Kandahar?
